I've been playing around with the scale of this ship, and have managed to shrink her to a length of 206 meters, which fits better IMOO, although comments are welcome on that score. I also moved the saucer forward by 10 meters to give her a sleeker look;





This still works well with the deck layout I have;



leaving the layout better;



Which allows for the beginning of an MSD :-)



and a first look at the bridge layout;




Comments very welcome, more soon :-)

Ok, this may upset a few people - but I've pulled some the Clarke's teeth. She's an 18 deck 206 meter long ship, she shouldn't have the same phaser loadout as a Connie (to my way of thinking). I'll keep two torp tubes as it still makes sense that these would be used for launching probes as well.

Old on the left, new on the right;




Comments welcome, more soon.

And... Back to the McCaffrey Class, USS Clarke... (I know, I know, lots of updates today),

The nacelles have been reworked - same length and width, but I have reduced the height;





I think this sits better, but let me know ;-)

Comments welcome, more tomorrow!

Some updates -





And the basic room behind the windows -



More soon :-)

Now with arboretum :-)






It's better than the one I did for the Horizon, so I'm going to redo that one.

Totally agree. I've covered it up for the time being, as said before - the ship is well catered when it comes to docking ports, so it can lose those two;




Comments welcome, more tomorrow!

More work on the shuttle. Yes, I am updating the deign and am taking some designs ques from the past...




Thinking back, this shuttle was the last thing I worked on before the attack. It's nice to finally see it realised - and most importantly that it's safe!

Comments welcome, more soon :-)

And...





Such a small thing, and it's basic, but I didn't need a full room set. Plus, it looks smaller than it actually is, but then this is a beast of a ship,



Gonna lock down the Horizon for now, and get back to work on the Clarke. The shuttlebay interior is something I want to create for both ships, so it makes sense to come back to that once the Clarke's nacelles are locked down.

Comments welcome, more soon :-)

C&C welcome, more later.

First pass at the landing gear -



Comments welcome, more soon!

Little more done, now time for a break. Kept the guns, just tweaked how they mount to the hull -



More soon!
